| Annotation | In this US survey, 28% of all geriatricians did not know how to report patients with dementia who are potentially dangerous drivers. The survey included a comparison of responses for geriatricians in California - where related legislation has existed for a decade - with responses from geriatricians from all other US states combined. Although most geriatricians will act to protect the public from patients with dementia who are potentially dangerous drivers, many do not know how to report these drivers. Legislation can improve a physician's ability to report patients with dementia who are potentially dangerous drivers. (RH). |
